Pay attention to what Evan? Subjectivity and Objectivity as different perspectives of what "Whole Event"? I have no idea what you are on about, but you at least mention the words "subjectivity" and "objectivity" and if you use rationality you may discover that every individual is locked into subjectivity. All awareness is constructed by a subject from a subjective point of view and unique.

The next rational step for you is to understand is that world also an objective fact. Your neighbour is an object (objective fact) even though you only know your neighbour from your subjective point of view. Your neighbour is also an object that constructs its own subjective point of view, believe it or not. What you need to do Evan, is step out of subjectivity, see yourself as an object, and factually analyse how it is that an object can create their own awareness as a subject. I hope I haven't lost you.

Let me explain Evan, as it could be what you are on about. The task of science is to objectify, not subjectively waffle or throw around vague subjective words pretending to have objective meaning, for example. That goes nowhere, whereas objective facts go a long way. Once you deconstruct the human anatomy as an object, you can discover how that object creates its own subjective awareness, but you will need to read my book to learn about that. Understood?

The difference between being a "subjective" subject and reasoning about objects in an "objective" world is quite obvious. So, just apply it to an individual human as an object that creates its own subjective awareness and you can make some progress. Easy as pie!

There's no need for me to pay attention to whatever it is you say I should pay attention to. But I still have no idea what you are trying to say about the "whole event". Are you merely saying that people see the same "event" from their different perspectives? You will have to explain it if you want me to provide an objective answer to your subjective wording.
